Holidays In Ibiza. Travel Tips

The Balearic Islands, washed by the Mediterranean Sea, are a small archipelago belonging to Spain. The third largest (more than 500 km²) and, perhaps, the most famous inhabited island of the archipelago, is Ibiza. In winter, tourists on the island almost do not come across, and this is not surprising, because the stems of thermometers show about +12 ° C, but in summer, when the weather is sunny and the temperature is + 25-26 ° C, the situation is fundamentally opposite.

Starting from the Easter week and until the beginning of autumn, under the influx of tourists from all over the world, you would not get bored on the resorts of Ibiza. Every year, thousands of young people come here in search of unprecedented entertainment and fantastic holidays. The feeling of the congestion appears in Ibiza only closer to the night, as all the clubbers are sleeping till the evening, giving you an opportunity to have a rest in the daytime. If you want to succeed in watching all the sights and beauties, it is better to rent a car in Ibiza Airport and then- to travel around the island. Here are some more advices for those, who are going to visit this amazing place.

If you are travelling by car, and the length of your driving experience is insufficient, it is better not to drive to the north – to Portinatx, as the roads there are situated in the mountains and rocks. In addition, there are many cliffs, and you will feel a bit uncomfortable, as your ears will be plugged much. If you are still going to visit Portinatx, it is better to use the sea transport, which is in abundance in Ibiza.

For young people, the hotels and apartments, which are located in five minutes’ drive from the capital of Ibiza, in the resorts of Talamanca and Platja d’en Bossa, and in the city of San Antonio, are best suited. The reason is a great variety of clubs, restaurants and bars. Most of the guests of San Antonio are young people of England.

Currently, Spain is no more dangerous than any other cosmopolitan society. The most serious problem for tourists is the theft of bags and the pocket theft.

All valuables should be left in the hotel safe. If you are nevertheless, robbed, contact the local police station or call the police- 091.
